Chapter 384: Chapter 384: The Old Woman Who Swears on the Street

By the time they returned to Yan City, it was not yet dark. Staring at the city gate before them, Nanzhi and Shen Wenchen were somewhat perplexed.

They looked at the unconcerned old man by the side, who was eating noodles from a small food stand. The couple exchange a glance, both seeing unmistakable shock in each other’s eyes.

Their journey away took them four days, yet they returned in merely four hours?

"Young man, two more bowls of Meat Soup Noodle!" After finishing his last bowl of noodle soup, the old man gestured for two more.

The young man running the food stand hesitated as he looked at the two empty bowls on the man’s table.

The old man had already eaten two bowls, he might damage his stomach by eating more...

"What, are you afraid this old man can’t pay?" Frowning, the old man shouted at Shen Wenchen.

"Shen, come and pay for it."

"Eh, okay." Shen Wenchen nodded, walked over and gave him twenty wen.

Seeing that he paid, the young man didn’t say anything more and continued to prepare the noodles with a nod.

"Senior..." Shen Wenchen hesitated to speak, this senior was extraordinarily not ordinary. Seeing him eat without stop all the way, he still had some concerns.

"Don’t worry about me, hurry back to the city and take a look." The old man took a sip of his tea and comfortably shifted his body.

A stiffening of Shen Wenchen’s face, as he took out two taels of silver from his pocket to give him, before saying,

"Please accept these two taels of silver. If you want to eat anything, feel free to buy it. If the money is not enough, you can get it from the Lord’s Residence."

"Alright, alright, quickly take the girl back."

The old man waved his hand dismissively, not bothering himself with their matters anymore.

Upon agreement with Nanzhi, they immediately hired a carriage and entered the city without further delay.

There were only three places where something could go wrong.

The county office, the restaurant "Sanweiju", and the new shop purchased by the Lin Family.

Fortunately, all three places were close to each other, so they rushed directly to the nearest new shop.

Because the Lin family wanted to open the shop as early as possible, they were constantly busy with preparations. Seeing the couple return, they were surprised.

A few days ago, these two sent a message informing them that they were going to leave the city for more than ten days. They were worried that their wedding would be delayed. But why did they return today?

Zhiyu was helping her three older brothers move things. Upon seeing her parents return, she was delighted.

"Dad! Mom! You’re back so soon?"

Zhiyu was already used to seeing her parents engrossed in their work, her previous concerns had now vanished.

Although her parents were busy, they would not abandon her.

"Mom missed you." Nanzhi hugged Zhiyu and gave her a couple of hard kisses before letting her down.

The kid is heavier these days.

"What’s the rush?" Lin’s mother wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked.

"Nothing major, Mother, is everything okay at home?"

Not wanting her mother to worry, Nanzhi asked indirectly.

"Nothing much." Lin’s mother shook her head, suddenly remembered something and smiled.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, it’s very happy news."

Nanzhi nodded, said a few words with them, pulled Shen Wenchen into the carriage again.

When they reached the street, they parted to their separate destinations, one to the county office and one to Sanweiju.

As expected, when Nanzhi reached the entrance of Sanweiju and got off the carriage, she could hear a ruckus coming from inside.

Feeling uneasy, Nanzhi handed the carriage driver twenty wen, then quickly hurried inside the restaurant.

The Main Hall was a chaos. Customers were running out, and some people gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Liao Da was anxious. Upon seeing Nanzhi coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manager!"

Nanzhi looked at him, covered in water stains, and couldn’t help but become irritated.

"What happened?"

Liao Da hesitated, not knowing how to break the news when he heard an old woman shouted.

"Where is the owner of this restaurant! Call that wench out for me!"

The old woman was in her fifties, her face studded with coarse features and a pair of piercing triangular eyes.

"I am the owner of this restaurant. I don’t know what you want?" Nanzhi looked at her coldly, but inwardly she was calculating the cost of the losses caused by her.

Although a lot of stuff in the restaurant was left behind by Manager Lu, she had later purchased a lot of things herself.

Each bowl alone cost five wen.

Now it was a mess, everything was shattered.

"Are you the slut?" The old woman looked at Nanzhi, suddenly sneered coldly, then threw the tea cup directly at her.

Nanzhi didn’t expect the old woman to act. She almost got hit on the head by the tea cup. Fortunately, An Wazi, who was shorter, pulled her to the side, preventing her from getting injured.

From the beginning, the old woman just smashed things, she hadn’t hurt anyone before. Thus, Liao Da and Aze didn’t dare to act rashly and had someone go to the county office for help.

But now their manager, Nanzhi, was almost injured, they did get angry. The waiters exchanged looks and were about to step forward.

"What are you doing! You’re all bullying an old woman! Be careful or you all will be struck by lightning!"

The old woman was waving a wooden stick with one hand, but there was not a shred of fear in her triangular eyes.

"You’re in such a hurry, are you all the bitch’s lovers? Disgusting!"

The old woman’s abuses got even filthier, and some of the customers began to look at Nanzhi.

Lin Nanzhi was attractive, managed a large restaurant at a young age, and they had been curious about her background from the beginning.

Some guessed that she was a young lady from a rich family playing at business, but a decent, well-bred young lady wouldn’t stay in a restaurant every day.

Now that the old woman was saying such things, their minds wandered...

"What nonsense are you talking about, you old hag!" The waiters were young and naturally became angry when directly insulted. Out of resentment, their faces flushed.

Looking at this, it indeed made people speculate.

"You guys have a conscience! This shameless slut hasn’t rotten yet! Disgusting!"

The old woman’s words got dirtier, and her voice was so loud that the female customers of the neighboring ice-drinking shop and the women on the upper floors heard too. Most of them left after leaving some silver.

Only a few remained.

Even if what the old woman said was false, it would affect their reputation.

Nanzhi didn’t say anything, just stood in a protective ring formed by the staff, coldly watching the crazed old woman.

"Am I right! You’re a shameless slut! So young and not learning good things, instead learning to seduce men!"

The old woman was getting more and more excited with her curses when an enraged voice sounded at the door.

"Say that again!"

Shen Wenchen had no time to change his clothes and his face was black with anger. The deep affectionate eyes, which used to be directed towards Nanzhi, were now filled with anger.

The old woman wanted to curse again, but her mouth froze when she met Shen Wenchen’s eyes.
